Second question of the day: what is everyone using for their fungus control for GMS? We have always used pneumocystis when looking for pneumo, and Aspergillus when looking for fungus, but wondering if anyone uses any type of fungus just to see that stain worked properly. We are having difficulty locating tissue for both pneumo and Aspergillus, and are trying to avoid buying commercial QC slides.
thanks again!
